• Plenty of passenger and cargo space, smooth ride, easy to drive considering its size, above-average tow capacity for a crossover.

• Some subpar interior trim, transmission can be slow to downshift.

  Better Than The Rest - 2009 GMC Acadia
  By LJB - March 8 - 8:54 pm

  After test driving other vehicles in this class, including MDX, Highlander, Pilot, and Edge this vehicle had them beat for one reason or another. The kids 4 and 9 sealed the deal. The size, safety features, design, and toys (must have toys) were the best. I came out of a 2005 Escalade that couldnt touch this and the Acadia has more space in and behind the third row. Loving this truck!

  I bought this in early november to replace my tdi jetta i lost during a recent hurricane. Its very comfy, many bells and whistles, and a hell of a lot more rommier than the toyota highlander I test drove.

  very pleased - 2009 GMC Acadia
  By cabo - March 1 - 2:18 pm

  We replaced our 2002 Honda Odyssey with a 2009 Acadia in December. We have put 1,500 miles on it and have had no problems. 24.4 mpg on a recent highway trip. Pulls our small camper very well. The only negative is rear visbility when backing up.

  So far so good - 2009 GMC Acadia
  By Va Mom - February 17 - 7:33 pm

  I just bought the Acadia but so far I absolutely love this vehicle! I traded in a Honda CRV because I wanted more room. I love the way this truck handles and its so comfortable to sit in / drive. Its amazing how much space there really is on the inside. Its very deceiving from the outside.

  Perfect - 2009 GMC Acadia
  By Brian Crawford - January 31 - 6:20 pm

  we liked everything about this vehicle. I rides just a bit harder than thee Enclave, but after owning a dodge Durango for five years we kind of liked a little bit of the truck/suv feel to it. We had to purchase a one year extended warranty to extend the life of the loan out to 72 months instead of 60, and also built into the loan dvd players in the head rest of the two front seat the come with wireless headsets for $1,650. This will keep the kids from fighting more.

  Dont Bother To Buy - 2009 GMC Acadia
  By Mel-KS - December 29 - 5:52 pm

  This vehicle has the transmission problems of previous models. Ours had 3600 miles when it died in the middle of a busy highway. Towed to a dealership, and the dealership was unable to figure out what was wrong with the vehicle after nearly four days. GMC absolutely no help and not willing to honor the warranty or have the vehicle brought back to us since it died more than 350 miles from our home. Best they would do is provide a crappy rental car. I would avoid this vehicle--when GMC goes under, youll be stuck with a money pit your mechanic will love.

  GM Quality - 2009 GMC Acadia
  By william - December 25 - 10:48 am

  We purchased the GMC Acadia for our retirement travels and we have taken 5 trips so far. We have driven in the mountains and in the desert and we are very Impressed with our 2009 purchase from GM. MPG is ,as stated, and better. I think General Motors can feel good about the 2009 Acadia. We sure do!

  Fun to drive - 2009 GMC Acadia
  By Junior - December 23 - 1:34 pm

  Love this vehicle. We traded in 06 Buick Terraza and we had nothing but trouble with the Buick so we gave GMC another shot no regrets.This truck is actually roomier than the minivan but drives like a car. I dont have the 4wd, we just got 6 inches of snow here in Chicago and this truck has not yet got stuck anywhere. Its amazing. Not to mention how safe it feels to drive rain or snow the drive is smooth. I highly recomend this vehicle.

  Great Ride - 2009 GMC Acadia
  By Pat R - December 16 - 11:33 am

  Great ride, love the navigation, easy to use. Seems to shift strange. Mileage has not been as good as promised. Good looking and fun to drive. Have had many compliments on this vehicle from strangers in parking lots. Cannot believe that the back bumper is not real chrome. For the price of this vehicle it should be real chrome not paper.

  Sleep on it a few weeks first! - 2009 GMC Acadia
  By kerry - December 8 - 2:32 pm

  Looks great on the outside. The interior quality of the dash, seats, & doors, door handles, etc. was a letdown. Visibility out of rear window not great, you wont see a small car on your bumper. Sensors and backup monitor a must. Having to upgrade better quality leather seats, CD player, & install backup monitor due to visibility issues just two weeks after purchase.
